Patriarchy, I would guess.

Well, I just wonder why a full golf swing, would it make their dress rise a little above the ankle?

I just wonder why.

I think also women were expected to not overexert themselves physically, especially in public, too.

You could kind of construe that as overexertion.

Well, and then there's this, which is from an 1890 book by Scottish baron Lord Wellwood talking about women and when they should golf and when they shouldn't golf.

I was going to do a Scottish accent, but I'm just not feeling it.

If they choose to play at times when male golfers are feeding or resting, no one can object.

But at other times, must we say it, they are in the way.

It was kind of snarky to add even the must we say it.

Like, do I even need to write this next sentence?

It's so just drippingly obvious.

But the long, the upshot of this is that's why they created the ladies putting club is just to sort of get rid of them.

Yeah, to get them out of the way of the men.

But the joke was on the men because this putting green, this first miniature golf course in the world, is still around and it's still considered one of the finest.

It's actually nicknamed the Himalayas because it has all these kind of mountains and hills and hillocks all built into it.

And they really kind of stand out from what I understand against like the Scottish seascape.

And it's a really revered miniature golf course.

But it is exactly what it sounds like.

It is a golf course in miniature.
